It seems that $ -5x^{2}+141x+4230 $ cannot be factored out.
Step 1 :
After factoring out $ -1 $ we have:
$$ -5x^{2}+141x+4230 = - ~ ( 5x^{2}-141x-4230 ) $$Step 2 :
Step 2: Identify constants $ a $ , $ b $ and $ c $.
$ a $ is a number in front of the $ x^2 $ term $ b $ is a number in front of the $ x $ term and $ c $ is a constant. In this case:
Step 3: Multiply the leading coefficient $\color{blue}{ a = 5 }$ by the constant term $\color{blue}{c = -4230} $.
$$ a \cdot c = -21150 $$Step 4: Find out two numbers that multiply to $ a \cdot c = -21150 $ and add to $ b = -141 $.
Step 5: All pairs of numbers with a product of $ -21150 $ are:
| PRODUCT = -21150 | |
| -1 21150 | 1 -21150 |
| -2 10575 | 2 -10575 |
| -3 7050 | 3 -7050 |
| -5 4230 | 5 -4230 |
| -6 3525 | 6 -3525 |
| -9 2350 | 9 -2350 |
| -10 2115 | 10 -2115 |
| -15 1410 | 15 -1410 |
| -18 1175 | 18 -1175 |
| -25 846 | 25 -846 |
| -30 705 | 30 -705 |
| -45 470 | 45 -470 |
| -47 450 | 47 -450 |
| -50 423 | 50 -423 |
| -75 282 | 75 -282 |
| -90 235 | 90 -235 |
| -94 225 | 94 -225 |
| -141 150 | 141 -150 |
Step 6: Find out which factor pair sums up to $\color{blue}{ b = -141 }$
Step 7: Because none of these pairs will give us a sum of $ \color{blue}{ -141 }$, we conclude the polynomial cannot be factored.
